Poem of the Day
Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
And all around the cadaver stood a living halo of fifteen
quail
Two thousand pounds of Grade A carne vaporize
the heat. He has the biggest pecker in the pool
If I had never seen those glossy magazines, how-to-books, or blue
movies I think I’d still slide into the positions
discovered in the caverns of our river bed.
Antlers butting against the full moon.
Bellies lolling on my belly.
Passing out of a great city
A flower in confusion,
I, the speaker, and you, the listener;
Supremest fictions grow with fungus speed,
The drunk by lies, the diver knows by art
The blurry wrecks made fairy-tale with weed.
There was a bed prepared and avoided
Smoke faces
Too great a distraction
It's gone about far enough,
your being kind to animals.
I've had a belly full.
I am straddling Marini’s horse
using the horseman’s cock as my handle
galloping in place until it comes off in my hand.
Your blood is a river from your side; tributaries
flow from your hands and feet.
